In reply to Chef Mimi. Thank you Mimi. You can make mapo tofu with other ground meats like ground beef too but we prefer the pork. Hope you give it a go soon.

Thanks for the tip to poach it first . . . yours looks so appetizing . . . and I do not have a problem with any of the ingredients . . . so . . . soon . . .

This is a favorite of mine. In Sichuan province this is a staple with lots of oil, and chili chili chili.

In reply to Pam. Hello Pam, thanks for visiting my website. When I was cooking this dish, I was thinking that you would also like this dish because it is kind of spicy, like our Garlic Spicy Eggplant that you and I love. I think that you could use ground turkey because like the tofu, it will just take on the spices of the garlic chili sauce and black bean sauce. I used about 1/2 pound of ground pork as this is what I had on hand. Miss Liu used 100 grams of ground beef which is about 1/4 pound. (Just as an FYI at the top of my website click on cooking conversions and it will help with you with any cooking math conversions you may need) Take Care
